Rhydwenfa

A Spacious Holiday House for Eleven in Porthmadog

Rhydwenfa is a spacious, stylishly decorated holiday house in the harbour town of Porthmadog, the gateway to both Snowdonia (Eryri) and the Llŷn Peninsula. Sleeping up to eleven across five bedrooms, dog-friendly and arranged over four floors, it is a wonderful choice for a large family or a group of friends. With a characterful woodburner, two living rooms, a smart kitchen-diner and a generous five bathrooms, there is plenty of room for everyone to gather together or find a quiet corner — all just a short stroll from the High Street, the harbour and the coast.

Comfortable, Sociable Living

The bright living room is the heart of the house, with a cosy woodburner, deep velvet sofas and plenty of seating for the whole party, while a second living room on the top floor offers a relaxing snug with a smart TV and rooftop views. The smart kitchen-diner is fitted with a range-style cooker, electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and a coffee machine, with a large table seating everyone for meals. A separate utility room has a washing machine and tumble dryer. Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all included, and a travel cot and highchair are available on request.

Five Comfortable Bedrooms

The five bedrooms are spread across the floors and offer a flexible mix of king-size, double and twin beds to suit families and groups. Three of the bedrooms have their own en-suite shower rooms, and there is a further shower room and a family bathroom with a bath, giving five bathrooms in total — so there is rarely a wait. The rooms are fresh and tasteful, several with lovely views over the rooftops of the town.

Garden and Setting

Outside, an enclosed front garden has a sitting-out area with garden furniture and picnic benches — a pleasant spot for a relaxed meal or a drink in the evening. There is private parking for two cars, and the house is no-smoking throughout. Up to two dogs stay free, so the whole family is welcome.
